Abstract
A method of estimating an electrical characteristic of an electrical signal involves allocating measurements amongst numerically sequential primary partitions. Each measurement is associated with a characteristic of an electrical signal. Each primary partition has a respective primary numerical range, and the value of each measurement is numerically within one of the primary numerical ranges. The measurements associated with one of the primary partitions are then allocated amongst numerically sequential secondary partitions. One of the measurements that is associated with the one primary partition has a desired rank. The secondary partitions are disposed numerically within the primary numerical range of the one primary partition. Each secondary partition has a respective secondary numerical range, and the value of each measurement that is associated with each secondary partition is within one of the secondary numerical ranges. The characteristic is estimated by selecting one of the secondary partitions in accordance with the desired rank.
